I can hardly believe that my baby is 6 years old! Yesterday I was feeling sad thinking that it was Naomi’s last day as a 5-year old. Funny how we get all nostalgic. I just know that in a couple of years I will forget what Naomi was like as a 5-year old. I am so happy that I can go back to this blog and see all the amazing stuff she did and learned this year like school, skating lessons, Sparks, learning to ride a bike, tying shoe laces, etc …! I just know that 6 will bring a lot of new adventures too – she is already learning to read and write, she will probably loose her first tooth soon, she will do her first skating competition soon, and on and on and on. I am looking forward to seeing what this year will bring and all the milestones she will achieve.

Naomi’s birthday stared out bright and early – she was up at 6am and very excited to open presents. we had decorated the dining room the night before so it was a nice surprise for her in the morning.

Very excited about the Monster High dolls …

Daddy made homemade waffles for breakfast … yum!

Then we were off to swimming lessons, errands and homework (yup, I made her do homework on her bday). Later we had family over for pizza and cake and more presents …

DO you put sparkles on her birthday cake or are they fancy candles? Great fun either way better than ordinary candles. I can't believe she is 6 either. I swear it was just yesterday I followed your blog and you were waiting waiting waiting.
